In the D&C we read that if we'll ask of God, we'll receive revelation upon revelation and knowledge upon knowledge. We'll know the mysteries and peaceable things which bring joy and eternal life. If we lack wisdom we can ask of God and He will give liberally. D&C 42:61, 68 "If thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things—that which bringeth joy, that which bringeth life eternal. Therefore, he that lacketh wisdom, let him ask of me, and I will give him liberally and upbraid him not."
In the Old Testament we read about how the proud and the haughty will be brought low and humbled and the Lord alone will be exalted. All the idols that people worshiped will be destroyed and the glory and majesty of the Lord will shake the earth. Isaiah 2:11-21 "The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth."
A verse with a thought booklet tells us to meditate upon the words of the Lord day and night and observe to do all that we're commanded to do. If we do this, we'll be blessed and prospered. Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
